Watch: Conor McGregor shows amazing hand speed in workout

As mixed martial arts fever sweeps across Coventry ahead of the Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz rematch on Saturday night, city residents will have the chance to arrive to wherever they're watching the bout in style.

UFC 202 will be held in Las Vegas on August 20, with numerous Coventry establishments broadcasting live footage of the eagerly anticipated MMA fight.

And a new venture will see Coventry fans able to bag a luxurious lift to one of the many pubs and bars showing the bout, it has been revealed.

American Luxury Taxi Hire will be out and about in Coventry city centre on Saturday afternoon, in a signature yellow New York City-style cab.

The cab will be displaying the Irish flag, it has been confirmed by organisers, as they look to throw their support behind McGregor ahead of the rematch.

Coventry residents will have the opportunity to flag down the taxi and be taken to a venue of their choice - as long as it is situated within the city centre or Earlsdon.

The journey in the taxi will be absolutely FREE of charge, confirm American Luxury Taxi Hire staff, with fight fans given the chance to get themselves a free gift at the end of their journey by answering MMA-related questions correctly.

The taxi will be in and around the city centre from 2pm on Saturday, with organisers saying it's easily noticeable.

Reece Dry, one of the organisers behind the initiative, told the Telegraph: "The aim of this is to provide a free and fun event, and to show my personal great support to Conor McGregor.
